The cigarettes make the difference. I assume you don’t smoke.

I keep forgetting to. I want to smoke, but I can't seem to get around to it. Pipe and cigar, I mean. No cigarettes for me. But I do smoke an occasional pipe or cigar.

A few years ago I made a New Year's resolution to take up smoking. So for my 50th birthday, my wife and daughter got me a pipe.

Same story with drinking--I don't get around to it enough. I do enjoy a good margarita or single-malt scotch. Had a beer with my lunch today. Sometimes I'll have a glass of wine with dinner. (Still haven't come across any Flor de Caña rum here in St. Louis, PJ.)

I've got a couple of pastors' conferences coming up the next couple of weeks. Often the guys will get together at the end of the day for scotch and cigars.

Wait! Don't you preside over weddings and then attend the receptions afterwards? That would be a perfect time to imbibe.
